Wife admits murders of Chattogram man, daughter; ‘lover’ arrested

The wife of a man, who was found dead along with their 4-year-old daughter in Chattogram, has confessed to her role in the murders over an extramarital relationship, police say.

Police took into custody Hasina Begum, 28, hours after Abu Taher, 35, a day labourer from Noakhali, and their daughter Bibi Fatema were found dead with their throats slashed at home in the port city’s Nimtala area on Saturday.

Police later arrested her so-called lover ‘Mainuddin’, who resides in a room created by dividing the victims’ residence.
